One of those was reviewed in one of the first few AMBs I bought as I was getting into mountainbiking. The forks were OK for the price point, the LX was solid and you would be hard pressed to find disc brakes on a stock bike for less. In 2001 dollars, I could only dream of having a bike like that - but I would have just wrecked it if I did.That Klein is very pretty. This isn't:

2001 (I think?) Giant ATX 870. Abandoned by an old housemate. It's too small for me and the drivetrain makes crunchy noises but the wheels spin true, the brakes work and the forks feel supple(ish). Whole thing is surprisingly spritely actually despite its dog-eared appearance. Perfect pub bike.

This is my daily ride, an old Kona Paddywagon. Love this bike. After all these years it fits like an old leather work-glove, dialled. Log about 20km a day on it riding to work and home.
